Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

He is a Leonin with a stoic presence. His fur is a rich blend of brown and goldenrod, with a bright goldenrod mane that he keeps meticulously groomed and tied at the bottom, giving him a regal and disciplined appearance. His sharp, feline eyes gleam with intelligence and vigilance, always alert to his surroundings.
Ezekiel's armor is crafted from glossy black plate metal, polished to a shine that contrasts strikingly against his fur. The armor is intricately detailed with subtle engravings that denote his high rank within the King’s Guard. Draped over his shoulders is a dark red cape that flows behind him as he moves. The cape bears a prominent emblem—a shield with a closed right fist in the center, topped by the king’s crown, symbolizing his unwavering loyalty and service to the throne.
At his hip, Ezekiel carries a well-crafted broadsword, a weapon that has seen countless battles and been maintained with the utmost care. Strapped to his back is a kite shield, its surface emblazoned with the same emblem that graces his cape. Alongside the shield, he carries a spearhead with an extremely short shaft, a weapon designed for close-quarters combat that complements his ferocious fighting style.

His agility and strength, combined with his tactical mind, make him a formidable opponent on the battlefield. Ezekiel’s presence alone can inspire his allies and intimidate his enemies, and he often leads the charge in battle, rallying his troops with roars that echo through the battlefield.
